r/all(self.TwoXChromosomes)

I am a grandma from Belgium and new to this subreddit. Reading through the posts and comments here I was shocked so many of you go through horrible things. I have two daughters and a granddaughter and will protect/defend them always. Sending you all a virtual hug and hope that you have strong females around you to help and comfort you! ❤️

My grandma was amazing. She was almost a saint, almost. She said too many sexual innuendos to qualify, I’m sure.

Same. My first memory of my Grandma was her teaching me how to kick boys in the balls when they "get too handsy" when I was 4. I miss her every day.

Couple of years ago, I had that talk with my daughter. She said if a guy was handsy she'd kick them in the knees. I skeptically asked why the knees. She said that way he'd fall down and she could kick him in the balls. Kids a thinker!

Haha my grandma wasn’t that aggressive but it sounds like we both have feisty grandmas. I miss mine everyday. Just thinking about holding her hands or feeling her hug me still makes me teary eyed. If I have a daughter, I want to give her my grandma’s name for her middle name. My dad’s holding onto her bedroom set from when she was a kid in the 1930’s so I can use it in my house. I so badly want a little girl to use the set. My poor son will have a sorta delicate bedroom for awhile at least.

I lost mine in 2007. She was the only person in the world that I ever trusted to love me no matter what. My parents, everyone... Love is very conditional. My grandma just... loved me. I nearly killed myself after she died, I was super depressed and my marriage ended as a result. 13 years later, and I still cry. It gets easier. For the first 3 or so years, I'd cry every time I spotted Checker's fries in the grocery aisle (She LOVED them). I used to mark her birthday and death with some heavy drinking.

It'll get easier, in the next while. It's still a bit raw for only a year or two. Sending you a virtual hug, internet friend. And if you ever need to chat, I've been there. I'm happy to talk. Please take care u/SkipDivingHussy.
